Since industry has been seeking for advanced nanomaterials and nanofabrication techniques,  chemical strategies for synthesizing nanomaterials is a key contributor to this area. We present here technological emergences in advanced nanomaterials since nanotechnology is a part of chemical domain to produce materials at the molecular level.  This work will demonstrate how chemists can contribute to nanotechnology by developing new nanomaterials to improve the performance of nanodevices.  For example, we developed a new class of PDMS stamp materials to overcome the limitations thus extend current soft lithography to the advanced level. Patterns fabricated using functional polymers also have many potential applications.  For example, a photopatternable silicon rubber prepolymer is also introduced for a functional photocured patterns.  Microfluidic approach offers us a number of advantages over existing technology.  We demonstrate here a chemical strategy that produces uniform nanoparticles using microfluidic reactors.
